Damages for copyright infringement due to Defendants’ unauthorized and unlawful licensing, distribution and sale of Plaintiffs’ creative works, namely a sound recording embodying a performance of a musical composition entitled ‘Tardy for the Party. ‘ “

Both Kim and oldest daughter Brielle (who received a song writing credit) took to Twitter to vent:

This was a major source of contention during season 3 which aired in 2011, when Kandi stated she was ONLY paid a one-time $4,000 fee, she also said:

Normally, I would get sync license fees every time the song plays, but I gave the show a gratis, I know Kim was new to the music industry so I don’t feel like she was purposely trying to wrong me. I just think she was misinformed.”

This is nothing short of a publicity stunt, I find this lawsuit funny yet sad. Coming after me now and this song is 4 years old? I have in fact overpaid Kandi and have documents to prove it and my legal team will handle this accordingly.”
